Talking Heads - (Nothing But) Flowers: chords

C            Em
Here we stand   like an Adam and an Eve
Dm         G
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden
C                Em
Two fools in love so beautiful and strong
Dm                    G
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them
B                   Em                   B
From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on
    Em
gasoline
   C     Em                   F
Where, where have they gone? Now,
      G
it's nothing but flowers

Chorus:
C                   G               F
There was a factory, now there are mountains
     C
and rivers
G          F
You got it, you got it
C                       G               F
We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something
     C
for dinner
G          F
You got it, you got it
D                         A              G
There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered
       D
with flowers
A         G
You got it, you got it
D                   A          G         D
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower
A          G
You got it, you got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate,
now it's only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

Dm                A         Dm
The highways and cars were sacrificed for
A
agriculture
Fm                        C      Fm
I thought that we'd start o-over,
                    G
but I guess I was wrong

Chorus:
Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You've got it, you've got it
I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You've got it, you've got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You've got it, you've got it

I dream of cherry pies
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You've got it, you've got it
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You've got it, you've got it
This was a discount store
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle
